Time running out to stop logging of northwest Washington campground
Shortly after purchasing 74 acres in a state timber sale on the northern end of the Olympic Peninsula, Bruce Webster received a phone call from Earth Law Center attorney Elizabeth Dunne. She asked if the Elwha Legacy Forests Coalition could pay Webster the amount he would make from logging to forgo the removal of the 2 acres of trees surrounding Sadie Creek Campground.
Webster agreed and set a price: $32,000.
The agreement would allow Webster to pay the Department of Natural Resources its management fee. It would allow counties and junior taxing districts to get their fair share of it, too, Webster said.
“It’s kind of a win-win for everybody,” he said.
